PCT No. PCT/US90/01698 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 20, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 20, 1990 PCT Filed Mar. 30, 1990.A string (10) for a sports racquet, such as a tennis racquet string, is comprised of a string core (20) having a plurality of external ridges (40) bonded thereon for aiding in imparting spin on a ball and for increasing the crossover contact area between strings. The ridges are parallel to one another and extend axially with the string. Preferably, the string and ridges can be circumscribed by a maximum diameter circle (90), preferably of 1.70 millimeters. The process for making the ridged string includes passing a string core (20) through a bath (72) of resin (71), such as nylon, for coating and glueing the core and then through a die (74) shaped so as to form the ridges (40).
